Not sure how much help it's going to be, but I put a KZ1000/900 tank on a '81 KZ750. The tank didn't show what model it came from, I got it really cheap because of that.
Anyways, I hat to weld some new tabs on the front, the part that slides over the rubber that hold the tank in place, because the original one where in a completely different place.
I had to take a bfh to the underside of the tank on the side where the seat is to make it look level and clear the frame. Then I made a bracket to hold the tank in place.
The biggest pita was that the petcock was hitting the frame so I had to relocate it, that wasn't fun at all...
I was lucky the tank must have been sitting for ages, there were no gas fumes.
Just things you might run into.
